A flavorful and healthier homemade chicken breakfast sausage made with ground chicken, herbs, and spices. Perfect for a protein-packed breakfast or brunch without the added preservatives.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground chicken (preferably thigh meat for juiciness)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter, for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken with sage, parsley, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, black pepper, and maple syrup or honey (if using).
  2. Mix gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  3. Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape into small patties about 1/2-inch thick.
  4. Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
  5. Serve warm with eggs, toast, or as part of a breakfast sandwich.

Notes

  • Use dark meat ground chicken for juicier sausages.
  • For meal prep, make a double batch and freeze uncooked patties between parchment paper.
  • Adjust herbs and spices to your taste; add fennel seeds for a more classic sausage flavor.
  • Cooked patties can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
